 “In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”

“Two full inches in the first three days!”

These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device (设备;装置). The promoters (推销员;促销员) of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to beauty or desirability.  

Often such products are nothing more than money--making things for their promoter. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.  

To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation (条例). If the product is a drug, FDA(Food Drug Administration) can require proof (证明)under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market . But if the product is a device, FDA. has no author to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the marker is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily, or it can take legal action , including seizure (查封) of the product.  

One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device  on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.  

Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼),and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.  

1.It can be inferred that ads mentioned in the text are ______.  

A.objective

B.costly

C.unreliable (不可靠的 )

D.illegal

2.Which of the following is true according to the text?

A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous product.  

B. New products are more likely to be questionable.  

C. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.  

D. The promoters usually just care about profits.  

3. FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product ________.  

A.if it is a drug

B.if it is a device

C.if its consumers make complaints

D.if its distributors challenge FDA’s authority

4.The Relaxacisor is mentioned as_______.  

A.a product which was designed to produce electricity

B.a product whose distributor (批发商;批发公司) was involved in a legal case

C.a successful advertisement of a beauty product

D.an example of a quality beauty product

5.The author intends to __________

A. make consumers aware of the promoters’ false promises

B. show the weakness of the law on product safety

C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful

D. introduce the organization of FDA.
